I must say, that the megans must be mixed with guilt too. I'm sorry, but I can't agree that what they (all not just them) did on holiday was right. To leave children of that age in an unlocked apartment.. makes my blood boil.
My best friends brother was stabbed and left for dead in his own home many years ago now, his son was there, and the family and the son as you can expect are still devestated. He died after around an hour it was stated in the reports, but his son was too little to help.
Their devestation is untrue.
Another friend more recently lost her step son in a car accident - he was 17 and his friend was driving, had just passed his test.. yes i know - he's now facing court (at the moment) as overtook onto the wrong side of the road at speed at the start of a small humpback bridge.. the unthinkable happened in that even at 3am on a quiet road there was a car on the other side.
I do think that grief is something we all deal with in our own way, but it's impossible to compare some to others. The loss in our hearts and souls cannot be compared.
This is however.. from my 3rd party point of view.
I guess the questions and the reasoning is quite another thing.
My questions don't compare but when i lost my baby, I blamed (and still do) myself, I didn't know i was pregnant as after 8 years of trying we'd all but given up, and I had ridden the day before, harder and longer than i normally ride.
I can't help thinking this contributed, and the Dr's weren't able to say it hadn't either.
Life does however have to go on. I wouldn't have ridden if i'd known, I know that in my heart as never got back on my motorbike when i found out i was pregnant with my eldest. It doesn't stop me thinking about what may have been though, and I can honestly say I think of the baby so often it amazes me, I assumed people kind of 'forgot' an unborn child.
Gosh i'm rambling, sorry. :oops:
